I'm not saying that things won't come back together. Not at all. Also there is actually a law, at least in the states, that during emergencies you can validly take items from stores as long as you leave and pay back an I.O.U

You're not in Kansas anymore Toto. Making that kind of assumption in Korea could very well lead you into violent confrontations.
I suspect mobs of the anti-ES type would be out in force, hunting down
any white face they can find. |
Sorry, but we aren't that important to them.
If something like this happened, everyone would be trying to reach their loved ones, not spending their time hunting down English teachers.
I know, I know, we're foreigners, we are the center of the Korean universe and are more important to them than their aunts and uncles. But really, we just aren't as big a deal to them as we wish we were. Get over ourselves. |
Agreed. They are going to be very busy finding food and water and their loved ones. They are not going to worry about English teachers.
I also agree that this "I am the center of Koreans' existence" mindset has got to go. The vast majority of Koreans have not met you, do not know you and frankly they could care less. |
Please use the word 'generally' in this context. I'm tired of seeing blanket use of 'they'. |

Day 1 When I realize the world wide Apocalypse happening I have of course only one goal in mind. Save 2ne1 from harm and evil cannibals. I immoderately return to my apartment and pack my hiking bag with full camel backs,extras tubes, pump, a patch kit, and choco pies.
Day 1 Night I am on a marathon ride to Seoul and arrive at dawn.
Day 2 I get to Kangnam because I assume 2ne1 lives around there in some penthouse. I ask around until someone tells me there home. I go there and find them panicking and fruitlessly trying to take hand phone pictures of themselves and scan matrix codes onto their phones so they can buy discounted Cafe Bennie coffees later. "GET SOME SENSE IN YOUR HEADS GIRLS! YOUR HANDPONE IS SHARRAGII! I yell. Crying they finally agree and ask me what to do. I direct them to gather up a few bottles of Evian mul and come with me. Their manager and bodyguards have long since retreated to their mothers' houses so they readily agree.
Day 3 We make our way to the Taco Belle in Hyhondae. Even though the taco toasters are inoperable the Taco makers have still dutifully come to work because of the status of a Taco Bell job in Korea. I arrive at the taco bell and proclaim it mine by Divine Right of Kings and Right of Conquest. I also tell them they should go check on their mothers. They agree and tell me not to let anyone have free tacos. I swear this will not happen unless it is granted by my dominion. After they leave me and 2ne1 have a huge sour cream taco and burrito feast.
Day 4 Despite the pleadings and warnings of the 2ne1 girls I continue to eat the now bacteria filled sour cream. I sicken and die terribly of salmonella. The 2ne1 girls later become corn farmers and dairy farmers in the new Arianin economy that arrives out of thee old. But decades later, every year they and all Koreans eat some sour cream and remember my heroism. |

I qualified and clarified my use of "they" by saying "The vast majority of Koreans" |

For some reason I find this to be the best post of the past 2 months.
In answer to the OP -
Day 1. I stay at home happy in the knowledge that I can lie in and get drunk on the four Asahis 500ml in my fridge without consequence as it's most likely school will be closed today. I'll pop my head in anyway though first. I have a few smokes too. They are nice, I exhale and imagine - like native Americans - that my smoke communicates messages to spirits in the sky. I do not try to influence the messages or even decipher what they might be, I just blow them and watch them dissipate. Sometimes I blow them onto my arm to feel the sensation of the cool smnoke hitting my forearm hair and watching the smoke mingle with the hairs for a fraction of a second. Oh but what a fraction of a second it is. I do this to my inner thighs too and it tickles. My legs look funny, like a piece of me attached to me but not really me, if you know what I mean. Can't get by too well without em though and nice when women touch them. I finish up the ham and cheese and crackers in the fridge. That celery is getting brown around the edges, but screw it. Yup, I was right, it was still good. I go to sleep. Wake, read some books.
Day 2. Alright, bugger, I'm out of beers and smokes and only have 5 sticks of coffee left and no frigging hot water. ARE YOU KIDDING ME GOD!??? YOU HAVE TO BE FRIGGING KIDDING ME!
I'm pissed off now coz I want some hot coffee and a smoke goddamn it. Stores are all closed. I pick up a few butts of the street but it rained last night and they are too rank to smoke. GODDAMN IT! I go back home a while and sit in my Ikea armchair rocking excessively out of annoyance and in a sort of protest I realise will do no good, but it feels good to do it anyway and nobody can stop me, so... I do some push ups and pull ups. I wish I had a dog. Dogs are nice. Is friend.
I want a smoke goddamnit and a coffee. Damn. I go outside and bum a smoke of the secuirty guard. He's almost out too but he gives me one anyhow. I decide to smoke it really slowly but it seems to burn faster than they usually do and is down to the butt before I know it. GODDMAN IT GOD ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!! YOU HAVE TO BE FRIGGING KIDDING ME!!!! I'm getting kinda bored coz of not going to work and it's too far to walk to my mate's house. Goddamn busses and subways not running and all stores are closed. GODDAMN!
That's as far as I can imagine before I feel too uncomfortable. I hope this scenario never happens. That would suck. Modern conveneinces are nice. |
